We bought this little 2 bedroom 1 bath cottage in Elkton, Maryland for $45K in 2018.

Occupying cottage and will rent ranch on long-term lease.

Hey guys, I'm looking to purchase a quadplex In Chattanooga TN and I Need a lender that will include a 30k rehab budget with the loan. it has to be a commercial loan because its a triplex with a cottage on the Side.If I can't find a lender with that options, I would like to get one ready to refinance after 11 month of purchase. something like a BRRR method. 

However, with the two that I do own the rent has also been going up the last 4 years and they have been cash-crunching machines compared to some of the SFHs around here that I had considered buying at that time.Ex: I bought a condo 4ish years ago in wilmington, cape cottages 809 march court for 100k, 180/m HOA, and 1100/m rent.It's now worth 185k, 240/m HOA and 1300 rent.To get similar rent for a SFH I'd have had to about 100k more in a house.

We're planning to STR a cottage on our personal property.My question is from a structure standpoint, can we rent the cottage through one of our corporations, or do we rent it personally.  

She now has 3 duplexes, lives in a single family on a lake that has a cottage next door that she airbnbs. 

Hi Ben,A brewery huh...You probably have something else in mind. but when you say Fort Collins BreweryI envision a Brewery/public bar with the bar having 12 foot high ceiling to floor windows on one side (on the side of a mountain) with a long expansive unobstructed view of the lower lands below.With a 40 foot deep deck on piles with chairs and tables outside in front of the large windows.And inside chairs and tables plus 6 premium raised up horseshoe booths that go for $20 extra just to sit there and enjoy the view--and buy alcohol and food.The bar serves high quality skin on hot dogs, fries cooked in beef tallow, pizza with  ton of cheese on it, high quality fried cheese sticks, and hot wings.The interior color scheme is dark brown wood and burgundy Naugahyde with nail trim.With some salt blocks put out to attract Elk to the area.There is a large steel building on the property with it's own parking lot for rental for wedding receptions, which includes a bar (due to the liquor licence)It also has a nice view and flowery repose area for wedding pics with the beautiful view as a background.Customer base not aimed at the College level (animal House crowd), but a nice place, a destination, that if someone is going to visit Ft.Collins--this is "THE" place to visit (and spend money at).But with Covid...public gathering places...hmmmm .... hmmmmm(???)

Otherwise 5,750SF is all you need (unless you find a lot in one of the infill areas with cottage or urban lot options etc., in which case you can go even smaller).

You should obviously set limits to the number/size/type of animal, but make some cheese!

A conversation in January with a coworker (and BP fan) opened our eyes and here we are - we just closed on a cash-out refi of our primary residence (in Missouri) today @ 2.875% and we're going to use that as seed money for somewhat of a cottage (2B/1b SFH) built in the 1940s in southwestern MA.
